Kickstand and Blower Housing:
I ordered a close facsimile of the original kickstand off of e-Bay, and proceeded to fight it all morning. The kickstand is held in place with a spring and I had to figure out the geometry to make it stay in place. It is a little big, but it is the correct length. I'll reduce the width with the angle grinder.
The actual U-bracket is 1/4" wide, so I made a 1/8" shim with a stop for the kick stand in its extended position.
I picked up a spring at the hardware store and used a c-clamp to locate the spring upper pivot.
Once I located it, I drilled an 1/8" pilot and then drilled to tap both the shim and the mounting tab on the frame.
I used a 1/4-20 bolt temporarily to locate the pivot point. This will be replaced with a threaded pin and Loctited in place. The bolt will be replaced with a cap screw. You can see the stop/shim in this photo. The new foot pegs fit perfectly but I will reduce the size of the kickstand arm and foot.
Next up was surgery on the blower housing. The top of the shroud had a 1/2" deep dent that came across the front lip (no pic). I decided to rescue it, rather than replace it. I used a torch to heat the tin, and a variety of makeshift tools to bring it back to shape. A little angle grinding and it's pretty much smooth. I then filled the rivet holes on the front of housing and ground them down....little more work to do on them.
The last small parts are ready for welding and I discovered a few places on the frame that still need some loving before we're ready for powder.
